Macraigor Systems has added support for AMD's Geode NX family of high-end x86-compatible embedded processors to its line of hardware-assisted on-chip debuggers. Additionally, it has added configurations for AMD evaluation boards to its collection of free, pre-built GNU tools suites, and pledged to… support forthcoming boards.

AMD launched its Geode NX line in May of 2004. The line is based on the same cores used in the company's “Mobile Athlon” product family, but with tweaks to process technology and transistor selections that result in lower power consumption at reduced clock rates, the company said at the time.

Additionally, Macraigor says it has added sample configurations for AMD's NX-based evaluation boards to its free, pre-built GNU cross-development tools suite. The suite includes source, gdbinit, and make files for each board, it says, allowing developers to “build, download, and debug via gdb using only two commands.”

Additionally, Macraigor has committed to supporting future AMD Geode NX processor-based variants as they become available.
